I enjoy the idea of mapping out a journey or an experience. The work could be very in depth or just simple and easy to read. To me the process is the fun and interesting part. My personal preference would be to come up with a very clean, crisp and informative style of mapping, something very structured and easy to understand. With this upcoming project I want the viewer to look at my mapping and be able to comprehend what I am layout in front of them. Although I enjoy more structure and legibility its hard not to like the angle Franz Ackermann takes on mental maps. In his works the mapping is more of a perception then what is physically in front of us. Not only does he project what he sees but also he presents his take on it. Reality is what we believe it to be. Not everyone is going to have the same perception. So incorporating feelings, beliefs, and opinion into his mapping gives us a glimpse into his view of reality. Looking at his work and going through this reading has placed me in the right direction for this next piece. What I now hope to accomplish in this next piece is a way of mapping my day with structure and a personal perception. I want the viewer to understand my mental mapping and read it well, but I also want them to understand my thoughts, feelings and why recorded certain events and left others out. With this combination of structure and personal perception I believe that the finish product will project what I want.
